KUALA LUMPUR: The massive online breach of information on over 46 million mobile phone subscribers in Malaysia is believed to have occurred during a data transaction.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said initial investigation has revealed that the breach could have occurred during a data transfer, when a number of crooked employees of a company were able to take advantage of the situation.

“We have some leads pertaining to the case and we have identified those involved.

“Further action will be taken (against the alleged culprits),” he said, adding that the company for which they worked is not involved in the crime.

When asked if the source of the breach has been identified, Fuzi said police are still investigating the matter.


“I cannot confirm the source of the leak, but we have leads on how it happened. (It was) not (the work of a) syndicate,” he said.

Fuzi said investigators are currently working with telco companies to pinpoint the source of the leak, but the motive has yet to be established.

more like plotek telco. how come it leak at the first place? are their policies that weak? we talking about data breach here

If this is in usa, sure kena sue by subscribers until pants drop.

jobstreet maybe the internal staff rogue after being buy out from australian company...
the staff may work with doc and some related friend with mcmc folks..

Just find the rogue staff after jobstreet buyout

Should initiate class action lawsuit. Our personal data leak is no joke. And involved millions of people

no need so extreme lah, just publish all his name, age, gender, address, and anything related to him in every newspapers, tv, radio, notice boards, every where.

we only have around 26mil population back in 2014...but over 40mil + phone line..

who have 2nd phone for mistress for stand up...

catching 1 person, not telco
padahal telco yang jual info

Quick, go to Bar Council and ask them to sue

seriously, looks like you did not read or don't use your brain.

But thats only 1 leak. What about the medical 1? Dont tell me telco also keep our medical records 😑

Based on our country's history, these are most likely scapegoats.

lemme ask u
is catching that culprit gonna resolve that problem from ever happening again?

telco playing victim card. "not our fault". lol. while secretly sells info to 3rd party.topkek.

thats right
its never 1 culprit, its the whole telco
